OVERRATED: "Safety Not Guaranteed" (2012)

Cinetic Media

There are indie films that tell unique stories in unconventional ways, and then there are those that act as a near-parody of the genre. Meandering and almost oppressively quirky, this decently reviewed comedy features two of the year's more overexposed TV stars in Aubrey Plaza and "The New Girl's" Jake Johnson, but neither shows anything surprising, and a movie ostensibly about time travel seems to stretch time itself.
